Just after Wrestlemania 17 went off the air, Vince McMahonwas very happy with how the show went down.

 

But WCW was gone, ECW bankrupt, Vince McMahon had finally won, but for a man who thrived from competition, but where was the competition now?

 

With The Rock taking a leave of absence to film the Scorpion King, it gave Vince an idea. With the XFL just finishing its first season, and McMahon looking to make a second season .Vince decided he wanted to expand the WWF, into films, music.

 

But with changing his focus, Vince knew he wouldn't have the time to focus on the Wrestling, so he decided to give Shane and Stephanie complete control over the Wrestling side of the WWF brand.

 

Shane and Stephanie decided to go full strength with WCW v WWF, and attempt to buy out many of those WCW contracts to make WCW full strength, as well as find a huge network to air WCW Nitro on, but would they be successful?

Just as Linda finished her speech, the chairman of the WWF, Vince McMahon came out and made his way into the ring, visibly not happy.

 

Vince: So you and the Board have decided on this big match? I guess you are going to tell me now that I can't change it.

 

Linda: That's right.

 

Vince: That's fine, but Linda, you go and tell the Board, I don't think Undertaker is going to make it to Judgement Day. And do you know why? Do you? Because tonight, The Undertaker is going to be in the main event tonight, and do you know who he's going to face Linda? Do you? I'll tell you. Tonight in the main event, all of you here tonight will get to see The Undertaker, facing the WWF Tag Team Champions, Triple H and Stone Cold Steve Austin.

 

Paul Heyman: This man is a genius

Big Show throws Test into every possible object backstage, and Test just doesn't have a chance in hell of fighting of the monster. Officials backstage try to separate the two, but Big Show doesn't finish it, not until Big Show chokeslams Test onto a pile of crates, and walks of laughing.

 

We then see a video of Hardcore Holly at WWF New York, drinking, and watching RAW, and scaring of any fans than come near him.

Spike Dudley went outside the ring straight away, and grabbed weapons from outside the ring. Rhyno followed Spike, but was smacked over the head with a kendo stick, Spike quickly went for the cover, but only managed to get a 2 count. As Rhyno was still down, Spike threw a table into the ring, as well as a load of other weapons. As Rhyno got back into the ring, Spike went to smash Rhyno across the face with the garbage lid, but it seemed to barely affect the Hardcore Champion, instead Rhyno immediately hit back with a belly to belly suplex. Rhyno continued to dominate over the smallest of the Dudley litter, but it wasn't long until Bubba and D-Von Dudley, made their way to ringside to route on their little brother. However it wasn't long before morale support became physical support, as the two set up a table in the ring, and went to deliver a 3-D to Rhyno. But it wasn't long until Edge and Christian came out to the ring, and Edge connected with the spear on D-Von allowing Rhyno to hit the DDT on Bubba. Christian then hit the unprettier on Little Spike Dudley. Edge and Christian then set up a table in the corner, and place Spike on the table, setting it up for Rhyno to connect with the Gore. Rhyno then got the cover and retained the title

Winner: Still Hardcore Champion, Rhyno.

 

However it wasn't long until the Dudley Boyz got back into the ring. Rhyno quickly excited from the action, looking to save his title from the 24/7 environment. Edge and Christian brawled with both Dudley Boyz. D-Von managed to dump Christian from the ring, and with Edge alone with both Dudley Boyz, and a table, it wasn't long until Edge received the 3-D through the table.

 

We go backstage, and again we see Eddie Guerrero, this time alone getting coffee. However he's not alone for long, as the WWF Women's Champion Chyna.

 

Chyna: So Eddie, running your mouth backstage I hear?

 

Eddie Guerrero: Mamacita, I don't know what you've been hearing, but whatever it was, it isn't true essa.

 

Chyna: Really Eddie? You seem to forget just how well I know you Eddie.

 

Chyna then smacked the coffee out of the hand of Eddie, all over the best of Latino Heat. With Eddie in passive pain Chyna continued to add insult to injury, by powerbombing Latino Heat threw the food table.

 

Jim Ross: Well Paul, I guess you don't mess with the Ninth Wonder of the World

 

Paul Heyman: Chyna, Chyna, JR here was talking about you earlier as well.

 

Jim Ross: O Shut up Paul.

------------------------------------------------

COMMERCIAL BREAK

------------------------------------------------

 

 

As we return from the Commercial Break, Commissioner William Regal makes his way to the ring ahead of his European Title match. Out next was the European Champion, Matt Hardy

WWF European Title

WWF European Champion Matt Hardy w/ Lita v William Regal

Matt Hardy was in no physical shape for the match, after his match with the APA earlier in the evening, however Matt tried his best, but was no match for William Regal. But luckily for Matt Hardy, there was somebody watching his back. Lita distracted the referee, which allowed Chris Jericho to run into the ring with a steel chair. Jericho smashed the commissioner over the head with the steel chair, and then delivered the lionsault, before quickly exiting the ring. Matt Hardy struggles to his feet, but as he does, he picks up Regal and delivers a twist of fate. Matt Hardy then got the cover, and the three count.

Winner: Still European Champion, Matt Hardy.

 

As Lita helps Matt up to his feet, Jericho looks on with a smile on his face, after what he did to the commissioner.

 

Jim Ross: Folks join us after the final commercial break, where we will see The Undertaker face both of the WWF Tag Team Champions.

------------------------------------------------

COMMERCIAL BREAK

------------------------------------------------

 

 

When we return from the Commercial Break, the WWF Tag Team Champions make their way to the ring, along with Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley, soon followed by the Number One Contender, The Undertaker.

 

WWF Tag Team Champions, The Two Man Power Trip (WWF Intercontinental Champion, Triple H and WWF World Champion, Stone Cold Steve Austin) w/ Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley v The Undertaker

The Undertaker started the match against the Intercontinental Champion Triple H. However with the Undertaker distracted by Austin, it allowed Triple H to connect with the chop block on Undertaker. Triple H kept working away on the leg of the Undertaker, showing sound strategy of keeping Undertaker down, so he was unable to compete in the match. Once Austin was satisfied Triple H had worked over the right leg of the Undertaker enough so he would be unable to amount any offence, the WWF Champion made his way into the ring. Austin dominated over the Undertaker, as the Undertaker was unable to make his way to his feet. However Austin was distracted by showing off to the fans, that the Undertaker was able to drag himself up on the ropes. Austin walked into numerous punches from The Undertaker, which knocked down Austin. Austin then quickly made his way to his corner, and made the tag to the intercontinental champion. Triple H came running into the match, but the Undertaker caught Triple H with a big boot, with his injured leg. While the Undertaker was in pain, he went for the cove, but only managed to get a two count. Undertaker who was acting very gingerly on just one leg, managed to hold the Intercontinental Champion at bay for some time. That was until he WWF Champion decided he wanted to get involved as well, and the WWF Tag Team Champions started to double team The Undertaker. That was however until Kane made his way to the ring, and started striking everyone who was moving, and the referee disqualified the Undertaker.

Winners: The Two Man Power Trip

 

Kane continued to aid his brother, and The Undertaker was starting to get to his feet. Kane chokeslammed Triple H out of the ring and onto the ring floor, leaving Austin alone in the ring with the Brothers of Destruction. Kane grabs Austin around the throat, and then the Undertaker, and they delivered a double chokeslam to the WWF Champion, leaving him lying in the middle of the ing. The Brothers of Destructions stand tall as RAW goes off the air.

Triple H kept working away on the leg of the Undertaker, showing sound strategy of keeping Undertaker down, so he was unable to compete in the match. Once Austin was satisfied Triple H had worked over the right leg of the Undertaker enough so he would be unable to amount any offence, the WWF Champion made his way into the ring. Austin dominated over the Undertaker, as the Undertaker was unable to make his way to his feet. However Austin was distracted by showing off to the fans, that the Undertaker was able to drag himself up on the ropes. Austin walked into numerous punches from The Undertaker, which knocked down Austin. Austin then quickly made his way to his corner, and made the tag to the intercontinental champion. Triple H came running into the match, but the Undertaker caught Triple H with a big boot, with his injured leg. While the Undertaker was in pain, he went for the cove, but only managed to get a two count. Undertaker who was acting very gingerly on just one leg, managed to hold the Intercontinental Champion at bay for some time. That was until he WWF Champion decided he wanted to get involved as well, and the WWF Tag Team Champions started to double team The Undertaker. That was however until Kane made his way to the ring, and started striking everyone who was moving, and the referee disqualified the Undertaker.

Winners: The Two Man Power Trip

It will be, Stone Cold and Triple H, against Edge and Christian, against the APA, against The Dudley Boyz.

However out of nowhere, Kane then grabbed both men around the throats. Kane got to his feet, and noticed his brother had behind him. Kane launched Jericho to the Undertaker, allowing Undertaker to chokeslam Jericho, and Kane chokeslammed Benoit. Both brothers then made the three count, and got the three count for the victory.

Winners: The Brothers of Destruction.

 

 

The bell had barely even sounded and the WWF Tag Team Champions had hit the ring to jump Undertaker and Kane, and was completely getting their way, after the Brothers had just been through that huge match up.

 

Jericho and Benoit however was starting to recover, and went to help out the Undertaker and Kane, where it was evident mutual respect had just been earned in that match. Well the save had allowed Undertaker and Kane to get back into the fight, the numbers soon evened up as William Regal and Kurt Angle joined the brawl, as we go off the air of Smackdown.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

------------------------------------------------

 

 

When we return from the commercial break, the Radiclz make their way to the ring for a 8 person intergender tag team match.

 

Radiclz (Perry Saturn, Eddie Guerrero, Dean Malenko, Terri) v The Hardy Boyz (Jeff and WWF European Champion Matt Hardy), Lita and WWF Women’s Champion Chyna

 

 

Matt Hardy started the match off against Dean Malenko, but the European Champion was too much for Dean Malenko in the early part of the match, causing Malenko to quickly tag out to Perry Saturn. Saturn came into the match as the powerhouse of the team, and completely dominated over Matt Hardy. After Saturn flung Matt to the ropes, Chyna made the flying tag and came into the match. Chyna then proceeded to elbow Saturn in the face, numerous times, obviously thanking him for the pipe shot on Smackdown. Chyna then went on to military press Saturn, and then followed up with a elbow drop. Chyna then went over and made the tag to Lita. Lita came into the match very unsure of what to do, but climbed up the turnbuckles, and went to give Saturn a hurricanrana, but Saturn countered it into a powerbomb, and then made the tag to Dean Malenko. Malenko came into the ring, and started to toy with Lita, but Lita managed to kick Malenko between the legs, and made the quick tag to Jeff Hardy. Jeff Hardy came in with a flurry of high flying offense against Malenko, and almost managed to put Malenko away for the three count. Malenko manages to make the tag to Guerrero, who comes in and takes Jeff Hardy down with a dropkick. Jeff fights back however and takes down Guerrero with a hurricanrana. Chyna asks for the tags, which she refuses, and she punches, and kicks away at Latino Heat, which brings the rest of the Radiclz in, and this starts breaking down. The Hardy Boyz take Saturn and Malenko out of the ring. In the ring, Terri receives a twist of fate from Lita. Guerrero however takes the upper hand against Chyna, connecting with a series of suplex’s. Lita goes to the top rope, and connects with the top rope hurricanrana on Guerrero, which sends Guerrero into Chyna, who hits the pedigree, and gets the three count.

 

Winners: The Hardy Boyz, Lita and Chyna

 

 

The Hardy Boyz, Lita and Chyna celebrate up the entrance way, however in the ring, all three Radiclz are arguing over the loss, which is until the music of the commissioner hits, and William Regal makes his way out to the stage.

 

William Regal: Now, now gentlemen. There is no need to fight now is there? However if you really want to fight, I will put the three of you, in a triple threat match on Smackdown, with the winner facing young Matthew Hardy, next Monday for the European Title. Now good day to you.

 

Jim Ross: My god, on Smackdown the three Radiclz in a triple threat number one contender’s match.

 

------------------------------------------------

COMMERCIAL BREAK

------------------------------------------------

 

 

When we return from the commercial break, we see Molly Holly walking through the backstage area.

 

Suddenly out of nowhere, WCW’s Stacy Keibler and Torrie Wilson jump Molly, and throw her into the makeup area nearby. Torrie and Stacy eventually walk off after they have decided they have caused enough damage.

 

Jim Ross: My god, what was that about?

 

Paul Heyman: Well JR, Shane McMahon did put the WWF on notice earlier tonight, what do you expect.

 

We then cut back to ringside, for a rematch from this past Thursday night from Smackdown, however this time, a No DQ match.

 

No Disqualification

Big Show v Steve Blackman

 

 

Steve Blackman was holding his sticks waiting for Big Show to get into the ring, which gave Blackman the early advantage in the match. Big Show however hit the sticks of the hands of Blackman, and then grabbed Blackman around the throat, ready for the chokeslam. Big Show however wasn’t expecting Blackman to kick him between the legs for a low blow. Blackman then followed up with a roundhouse kick to the head of Big Show, and went for the cover, but only managed to get a two count. Blackman then went out of the ring, and threw numerous weapons into the ring, including a trash can lid. As Big Show started to get to his feet, Blackman nailed him numerous times with the trashcan lid to the head, which shook Big Show for a moment. Big Show was starting to get visibly angry, quickly grabbed Blackman around the throat, and chokeslammed Blackman through a trashcan, and got the three count.

 

Winner: Big Show

 

 

Big Show didn’t have much chance to celebrate post match, as Test ran into the ring, and grabbed a stop sign that was lying on the mat thanks to Steve Blackman. Test then nailed Big Show numerous times with the stop sign, but was unable to knock Big Show of his feet. In the end Test knocked down Big Show with a big boot, and then went up to the top rope, and hit a diving elbow on the Big Show.

 

------------------------------------------------

COMMERCIAL BREAK

------------------------------------------------

 

 

When we return from the commercial break, Kevin Kelly is backstage with Trish Stratus.

 

Kevin Kelly: Trish, last night on heat, you defeated Molly Holly in a hard fought match up, and tonight you will face Jacqueline, you thoughts?

 

Trish: Well you see Kevin, the time of Trish Stratus is finally here, so Lita, Chyna, to be honest I don’t really care which one. But after Judgment Day, I’m coming after that Women’s Title.

 

We then go elsewhere backstage, and we see a limo pulling up in the car park

 

Paul Heyman: I wonder who that could be JR.

 

The limo driver got out the limo, and opened the door, and it was none other than, Ric Flair.

 

Jim Ross: What the hell is he doing here?

 

Paul Heyman: JR, it’s the nature boy.

 

When then return to the ring, where Rikishi and Haku make their way to ringside, followed by their opponents, Kaientai, who had microphones.

 

Taka: Hahaha, Rikishi, Haku, people say you are the most dangerous tag team in the WWF, Hahaha, However we are Kaientai, not only are we dangerous, but we are evil.

 

Funaki: Indeed

 

Rikishi and Haku v Kaientai (Taka and Funkai)

 

 

Rikishi and Haku just started working over Kaientai as soon as they got into the ring, and this match was basically a non-starter. Rikishi and Haku just completely destroyed Kaientai in the ring. Haku locked both men in the Tongan death grip, and in the end, the referee had no choice to ring the bell and end the match, giving the win to Rikishi and Haku.

 

Winners: Rikishi and Haku

 

 

After the match end, and Rikishi and Haku showed little mercy against Kaientai, the music of the commissioner hit, and William Regal came out to the entrance ramp.

 

Regal: Good evening, good evening. Mr Rikishi, Mr Haku, I just wanted to come out here to inform you that you will be in action on Smackdown, you two will be in a handicap, when you face Chris Jericho.

 

------------------------------------------------

COMMERCIAL BREAK

------------------------------------------------

 

 

When we return from the commercial break, Billy Gunn makes his way to the ring, after being attacked by the invading forces of WCW on Sunday Night Heat.

 

Billy Gunn: After last night on heat, I’m sick of this WCW bollocks, so if there is a WCW guy back there that has the balls to face me, man on man, how about you come out here, and face me right now.

 

Lance Storm came out, with no entrance music, on to the stage with a microphone.

 

Lance Storm: If I could be serious for a minute. Billy Gunn, you are a prime example of everything that is wrong with the WWF, you are nothing more than a degenerate, and that is why, WCW, will defeat the WWF in the end, and I will defeat you, tonight.

 

Lance Storm v Billy Gunn

 

 

As Lance Storm got into the ring, Billy Gunn was on fire against Storm in the early part of the match. But Lance Storm managed to get back into the match, with a rake of the eyes of Billy Gunn, and followed up with a DDT, and a cover, but only managed to get a two count. Lance Storm managed to keep the advantage over Billy Gunn for a couple of minute. That was until seemingly out of nowhere Billy Gunn managed to get the fame asser on Lance Storm, luckily for Storm however, he managed to roll out of the ring, stopping Gunn making the immediate cover. Gunn then followed Storm outside, and tried to get him back into the ring. Storm however managed to grab the leg of Gunn, and lock him in the Canadian Maple Leaf outside the ring. However with the referee count, Storm had to get back into the ring and break the count. As Gunn got back in the ring, Storm hit a low dropkick onto the lower leg of Gunn. Storm then again locked in the Canadian Maple Leaf on Gunn, but Gunn refused to give up, and eventually managed to make it to the ropes. Gunn was however struggling to get to his feet, and stay on his feet due to the damage to his leg. Storm managed to connect with a leg whip, and connected again with a Canadian Maple Leaf, in the middle of the ring, giving Billy Gunn no choice but to give up.

 

Winner: Lance Storm

 

 

We then go backstage, with Vince watching the match on the monitor, when his wife Linda McMahon walks into the ring.

 

Vince: What the hell is this, WCW wrestlers competing on RAW, My Show, RAW. Come Smackdown, I’m going to triple the security from Smackdown, and stop these WCW Invaders from ever appearing in the WWF again.

 

Linda: Well Vince, the board and I have discussed this, and we have decided to let this play out, so while WCW allows WWF Superstars to appear on Nitro, WCW is welcome to be a part of the WWF.

 

Vince: Is that right, well let’s see just how WCW matches up to the WWF, because next week, I am going to call out one of their top superstars, now let’s see just how tough WCW is, when I call out, Goldberg.

 

------------------------------------------------

COMMERCIAL BREAK

------------------------------------------------

 

 

When we return from the commercial break, we are getting ready for a women’s match

 

Trish Stratus v Jacqueline

 

 

Trish started the match by quickly taking it to the double tough Jacqueline. But Jacqueline easily managed to fend off Trish, and started beating away at the young Canadian beauty. Jacqueline then quickly went for a DDT to try and end the match quickly, but Stratus managed to quickly get out of the hold, and connect with a neckbreaker, taking down Jacqueline. This allowed Trish to gain some momentum in the match, and really manage to take it to Jacqueline, with a series of moves, including a impressive looking dropkick. But it wasn’t enough to keep Jacqueline down long enough for a three count, and in the end Jacqueline regained control of the match and completely women handled Trish, and even went for another DDT, but again Trish countered, into a roll-up and out of nowhere, managed to get a three count and the win.

 

Winner: Trish Stratus

 

 

Trish celebrated her somewhat upset win, and we go backstage.

 

We see Kurt Angle and Ric Flair talking backstage, but are unable to hear what is being said between the two.

 

Jim Ross: What the hell is Kurt Angle doing talking to Ric Flair?

 

Paul Heyman: Anything he damn well wants, it’s a free country J.R.

When we return from the commercial break, Michael Cole is backstage with the Dudley Boyz.

 

Cole: Bubba, D-von, Spike. It’s now official that you will face the team of Edge, Christian and Rhyno at Judgment Day, your thoughts?

 

Bubba: Michael, we know Edge and Christian, possibly better than any other team here in the WWF, but at Judgment Day, Edge and Christian are going to be the ones with a surprise coming their way.

 

Spike: Rhyno, last week you beat me for the hardcore title, but you couldn’t leave it just at that, and look where it got you, and now I have your belt.

 

D-von: Oh my brother, testify!

 

We then go to ringside, ready for tag team action.

 

The Hollys (Crash and Hardcore Holly) w/ Molly Holly v Essa Rios and the WWF Lightheavyweight Champion Jerry Lynn

 

 

Crash wanted to start the match against Jerry Lynn, but Lynn clearly wasn’t introduced in that idea, and had Essa start the match. Essa started the match quickly, but Crash was visibly angry, and very aggressive with Essa Rios in the start of the match. Lynn however managed to make a flying tag after Crash had sent Essa flying into the ropes, and quickly came in, and took down Crash Holly from behind, however Crash managed to fly forward to the corner where his partner Hardcore was waiting, and managed to make his way into the match. Hardcore then went for revenge on Lynn after what happened with Smackdown, punching and kicking away at the Lightheavyweight Champion. Lynn managed to throw Hardcore Holly outside however, which allowed Essa Rios to connect with a hurricanrana on Holly. Essa then threw Hardcore back into the ring, but Hardcore quickly took down Lynn with a clothesline, and made the tag to Crash. Crash went for a DDT, but Lynn got out and hit a short arm DDT of his own on Crash. Lynn then picked up Crash and connected with the cradle piledriver. Lynn then made the tag to Essa Rios, and launched himself at Hardcore Holly, sending them both outside. Essa Rios then climbed up to the top rope, and connected with a moonsault, for the three count.

 

Winners: Essa Rios and the WWF Lightheavyweight Champion Jerry Lynn

 

 

The odd team of Essa Rios and Jerry Lynn celebrate a win over the Holly’s. However Grand Master Sexay ran into the ring, and jumped Jerry Lynn, and connected with a DDT on the Lightheavyweight Title after dumping Essa Rios out of the ring.

We then go to ringside for six man tag team action.

 

Dudley Boyz (Bubba, D-von and the WWF Hardcore Champion Spike Dudley) v X-Factor (Albert, Justin Credible, X-Pac)

 

 

The big man Albert started the match for his team, as Bubba did for the Dudleyz Albert managed to completely dominate over Bubba, which allowed X-Factor to completely dominate Bubba in the first five minutes in the match. Bubba managed to make the hot tag to D-Von, who came into the ring, and completely managed to clean house. D-von however then turned into a bicycle kick from Albert. Unknowing to Albert however, the hardcore champion Spike came into the ring, and connected with the Dudley Dog on Albert. Spike then went for the cover, and managed to get the win.

Winners: Dudley Boyz

 

 

The Dudleyz however didn’t have long to celebrate the victory, as Edge, Christian and Rhyno quickly stormed the ring. Rhyno gored Bubba and then D-von.

Chris Jericho started the match of against the commissioner, quickly taking it to Regal, and quickly tried to lock Regal in the Walls of Jericho. Kurt Angle came into the ring quickly, and connected with the Olympic slam, and this match was breaking down in the opening moments of the match. Benoit came in and locked Angle in the crippler crossface. Regal managed to get back in the action, and punched Benoit in the face, stomping Benoit out of the ring. As Jericho was making his way to his feet, Regal made the tag to Jericho’s arch nemesis; Triple H. Triple H came in, punching and stomping Jericho in the corner. Jericho however managed to low blow Triple H when the referee wasn’t looking, and made the tag to Kane. When Triple H noticed this however, he quickly backed into his corner, and made the tag to Kurt Angle. Angle came in, and tried to take it to Kane, but was unsuccessful, and was then taken off his feet with an uppercut. Kane then grabbed Kane by the throat, and went to deliver a chokeslam to Kurt Angle. This brought in William Regal, who started punching away at the stomach on William Regal. Kane dropped Angle, amused and then turned his attention to the commissioner. Kane then threw Regal from the ring, and followed him to the outside, and then Kane threw Regal into the ring post. With Kane distracted, Triple H jumped Kane on the outside. Back in the ring, Benoit joined Angle in the ring, with the two men fighting in the ring. Benoit again tried to lock in the crossface on Angle, but Angle managed to counter it into a Olympic Slam. Benoit rolled out of the ring, and Jericho launched himself into Angle, sending both men to the outside. The ring was empty, and two men were standing on the apron. Undertaker and Austin. Both men got into the ring, and started slugging it out. On the outside of the ring, Kane had chokeslammed Triple H on the mats. In the ring, Undertaker caught his hand around the throat of Austin. Austin kicked Undertaker in the mid-section, and then went for the stunner. Undertaker pushed off Austin, and went through the ropes, to the outside, where he was met by Kane. The Undertaker also went outside, and Austin was in a two on one situation with the Brother of Destruction. Kane and Undertaker then both grabbed Austin around the throat, and sent Austin with a double chokeslam, through the announce table. Back in the ring, both Regal and Jericho had made it into the ring. Jericho took down Regal with a bulldog, and then connected with the lionsault, but that wasn’t enough, Jericho then locked Regal in the Walls of Jericho, and managed to get the submission victory.

 

Winners: Brothers of Destruction, Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho.

 

 

We go off the air, with caranage everywhere, Angle and Benoit brawling on the outside, Triple H down after the chokeslam, Stone Cold through the announce table, with Undertaker and Kane looking at him, and Jericho refusing to release the hold on Regal.

We start Smackdown off with Paul Heyman and Michael Cole welcoming us to the action, and we get started with handicap tag team action, as The Islanders make their way to the ring, followed by Chris Jericho

 

The Islanders (Rikishi and Haku) v Chris Jericho

 

Chris Jericho started the match against Haku, and started on the offence, with a series of punches, followed up by a dropkick, that sent Haku out of the ring. Jericho then followed it up with a plancha, taking down Haku, and looking impressive in the early part of the match. However once both men got back into the ring, that soon changed, as Haku managed to get the upper hand on Jericho with a serious of chops and strikes, and then managed to make the tag, to the much larger Rikishi. The big man came into the ring, but Jericho was determined to fight of Rikishi, and Rikishi seemed to let Jericho, finding the exchange amusing, which backfired on Rikishi, as the referee was distracted, Jericho connected with the low blow. Jericho then tried to make the cover, but only managed to get a two count for his trouble. A Angry Rikishi then got to his feet, and took down Jericho with the superkick. Rikishi made the tag to Haku, who came in and locked the Tongan Death Grip on Jericho, as Jericho went down, Rikishi hit the Banzai Drop, and Haku followed it up with a head butt, the referee then managed to get Rikishi out of the ring, and Haku made the cover.

After the win, the Islanders walked off, happy with the damage they had done to Chris Jericho. Chris Jericho slowly managed to get to his feet and got a microphone, and then called out William Regal.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

------------------------------------------------

 

When we return from the commercial break, Jonathan Coachman is in Vince McMahons office, who has called Coach to his office, to make an announcement. McMahon says he seen Kurt Angle talk to Ric Flair on RAW, and he has heard all the rumours, so he wants Kurt to know what will happen if he considers joining WCW, and as a result, makes the main event, Kurt Angle v Triple H

 

Elsewhere in the backstage area we see Chris Jericho leaving the arena, for the final time after quitting earlier in the evening. Just as Jericho was leaving, WCW Owner, Shane McMahon approached Jericho, and tried to get Jericho to join WCW. Jericho however was clearly not interested, and just left the arena, possibly forever.

 

When we return to ringside, Raven and Billy Gun make their way to ringside, ready for action

 

Raven v Billy Gunn

 

Raven had a very much darker look about him, and went straight for Billy Gunn. Gunn struggled to even get offence in the early part of the match. Raven went for the DDT, but Gunn managed to get out of the move with numerous punches to the stomach, and then managed to connect with the fame-asser out of nowhere. Gunn went for the cover, but Raven managed to kick out just after the one count. As Raven tried to get to his feet, Gunn managed to keep the advantage in the match for the short time. It was when Billy Gunn went for a stinger splash, Raven moved out of the way, sending Gunn into the ring post. Raven then connected with the bulldog on Gunn, and went for the cover, but only managed to get the two count. As Gunn tried to get to his feet, Raven locked up Gunn and connected with the DDT, and got the win.

 

Winner: Raven

 

Raven celebrates his victory in the ring and we go backstage, and Kevin Kelly is backstage with the WCW Owner, Shane McMahon

Stacey Keibler and Torrie Wilson then make their way to the ring, Stacey say that they accept her challenge, and Stacey makes her way into the ring, distracted by Stacey, and assuming Stacey accepted the challenge, It allowed Molly to be distracted, and Torrie Wilson to jump Molly.

 

Torrie Wilson w/ Stacey Keibler v Molly Holly

 

Due to the sneak attack, it allowed Torrie Wilson to start the match in control over Molly. Torrie even connected with a big splash on the back of Molly. Torrie turned over Molly, and went for the cover, but only managed to get a two count. Torrie then picked up Molly, who was still dazed, and threw Molly into the corner, and followed up with a corner lariat, and then a DDT, but Molly countered the DDT and connected with a fisherman suplex on Torrie, but Torrie managed to only just kick out. Stacey got up onto the ring apron, but was soon sent flying by Molly with a missile dropkick.

Triple Threat, Number One Contenders Match to the WWF European Title

Eddie Guerrero v Dean Malenko v Perry Saturn w/Terri

Guerrero however quickly got into the match, obviously wanting to win back the European Title, by taking down Saturn and rolling him up, which was broken up by Dean Malenko. This lead to Malenko and Saturn then double teaming Guerrero in the early part of the match, before Malenko turned on Saturn and sent him out of the ring with a knee.

Guerrero then went to connect with the frogsplash, but Malenko pulled Saturn out of the way, sending Guerrero crashing down to the mat. Malenko then went to pin Saturn, but Saturn managed to kick out at the two count. Malenko then managed to continue the dominance over Saturn, and then sent him out of the ring, looking to turn his attention to Malenko.

K-Kwik however didn't allow that to happen, by taking down Albert with a plancha. K-Kwik was completely on fire in the early part of the match, and was aware that if he allowed Albert to get the upper hand then the match would be over.

We then cut to ringside, and the Big Show makes his way out to the ring.

 

Big Show grabs the microphone, and says tonight he is issuing a open challenge to WCW, and while he would love Shane McMahon to walk down the aisle, he knew Shane McMahon's yellow streak would never allow it so if anyone from WCW was less yellow maybe they would accept his challenge.

 

It wasn't long until the challenge was answered, just like on RAW, no music was played, but out came Mike Awesome, to accept the Big Shows challenge

Big Show v Mike Awesome

 

Mike Awesome started the match by taking it to the Big Show, impressing JR and Tazz with his offence. Which included Awesome even able to knock Big Show out of the ring. Awesome then followed up with an over the top rope suicide dive to the outside, which even managed to knock down Big Show. Awesome then get back in the ring, wisely not even tried to get the giant into the ring. Big Show got back into the ring, and Awesome stayed on the giant, but this time, it was obvious that the giant was pissed off, and the shots was having little effect on the giant. Big Show then just started chopping away at Mike Awesome, and went to connect with the chokeslam on Awesome, but Awesome kicked Big Show between the legs, which the referee didn't notice. Awesome then followed up with a huge lariat which sent the Big Show rocking. Awesome then quickly got to the top rope, and showed his impressive high flying ability with a top rope shoulder tackle, which took down the Big Show, with Big Show down, Mike Awesome again went to the top rope, and this time connected with the Awesome Splash on Big Show, and this one should be over. One..two.. Big Show just got the shoulder up, and Mike Awesome was irate, and took his anger out on the referee with the Awesome Bomb. As Awesome did, seemingly planned, WCW referee Nick Patrick ran to ringside, and took over refereeing the match, Awesome looked on happy, but didn't notice the Big Show getting up behind him. Awesome then turned right around into a chokeslam by Big Show, Big Show made the cover, and Nick Patrick, surprised JR and Tazz, by making a fair count, but it was still only a two count, which surprised the announce team even more. Like Awesome did before, Big Show took his anger out of the referee, by hitting the final cut on Nick Patrick. This brought another referee, this time Tim White to referee this match, Big Show took it right back to Mike Awesome, and went for the final cut, but Mike Awesome fought out, and hit the short arm clothesline, as Big Show went to get to his feet, Awesome then planted Big Show with the DDT. Awesome then again went to the top rope, but this time taunted the fans slightly, which cost Mike Awesome, as it allowed the Big Show chance to recover and get to his feet. With Mike Awesome on the top rope, Big Show slapped the chest of Awesome, and then even climbed the bottom two turnbuckles himself, grabbed Awesome around the neck, and delivered a monster chokeslam to Awesome. Big Show then went for the cover, and got a hard fought victory against WCW's Mike Awesome.

Winner: The Big Show

 

Big Show had completely been in a fight , but it wasn't the end of Big Show's night, as when he got to the feet, he was met with a big boot from Test who had got into the ring, and then an elbow drop from the top rope. Test then left the ring, with both Big Show and Mike Awesome down in the ring.

We then return to ringside, ready for hardcore action

WWF Hardcore Title

WWF Hardcore Champion Spike Dudley v Jeff Hardy v Rhyno v Raven

 

As this match began Jeff Hardy and Raven paired up, as did Spike Dudley and Rhyno. Raven brought some weapons with him to the Raven, and started using them against Jeff Hardy on the outside. Inside the ring, Rhyno was completely over powering the Hardcore Champion, however a low blow, and then a Dudley Dog, almost managed to secure a quick victory for the Hardcore Champion. On the outside of the ring, Jeff Hardy ran the barricade, and took down Raven with the clothesline. Jeff Hardy then proceeded to get a 15ft ladder from under the ring, and threw it into the ring. Jeff Hardy first knocked Spike down with the ladder, sending him out of the ring, and then went to connect with the ladder on Rhyno, but Rhyno ducked, and then yanked Jeff Hardy by the back of his hair. On the outside, Spike got 4 tables out from the under the ring, and then sent three tables into the ring, and then set up a fourth on the outside. Back in the ring, Raven had made his way back into the ring, and was fighting with Raven, Raven then connected with the Raven effect on Rhyno, but before Raven could go for the cover, Spike Dudley went to go for the Dudley dog on Raven, but Raven threw Spike Dudley of him, to the outside, and through the table, that Spike had set up just moments before, Raven then went back to Rhyno, and went to cover Rhyno, but Rhyno managed to kick out before the three count. As Raven got to his feet, he was meet with numerous forearms by Jeff, and then a twist of fate, however instead of covering Raven, Jeff looked at the tables, and the ladder. Jeff Hardy set up two of the tables up next to each other, and then the 15ft ladder. Jeff then placed Raven onto the two tables, and then climbed the ladder, for the swanton bomb, but Raven moved at the last moment, sending Jeff going through two tables. Raven then managed to get a hand over Jeff, but Rhyno just managed to make the save. Raven then battled his way to his feet, and Rhyno was waiting to connect with the gore, but Raven seen it coming, and side stepped, sending Rhyno into the turnbuckles. Raven then went to go for a Raven effect, but Rhyno countered it into a fisherman suplex, with the bridge. But Spike got back into the ring, and broke up the bridge. Spike had brought a trashcan with him into the ring, and nailed Rhyno over the head with it, as Rhyno got to his feet, and then the hit the DDT on Raven onto the trashcan. Spike then went to grab the last remaining table, and set it up in the corner. Spike turned around after doing so, but turned right into a gore through the table. Rhyno went for the cover, but neither he, nor anyone else, noticed Jeff Hardy was back to his feet, and hit the swanton bomb, off the top rope onto the back of Rhyno. Jeff then covered Spike who was sandwiched under the swanton bomb, and got the three count.

Winner: New WWF Hardcore Champion, Jeff Hardy.

 

Jeff Hardy slowly got to his feet, to celebrate his victory, but Jeff was still weak from going through the two tables from 15ft, and was a walking victim for Raven who hit the raven effect on Jeff, made the cover, and we had another title change, Raven had just won the Hardcore title. The hardcore experience of Raven played into effect, as the new champion quickly escaped to the back.

 

We go backstage, and JR informs us that during that match, Big Show caught up with Test backstage, and the two superstars are currently fighting it out backstage, numerous officials and road agents are trying, unsuccessfully, to break the two men up.

 

We then return to ringside, and the commissioner of the WWF, William Regal is making his way down to the ring, with a microphone in hand.

 

Regal says how it is great to be back in England, even if he has to settle for being in London, and not his great home of Blackpool. But no matter where in England he is in, tonight is Chris Jericho's last ever match in the WWF, and he is happy to send Chris Jericho packing from the World Wrestling Federation, in front of his own countrymen.

No Holds Barred

William Regal v Chris Jericho

 

Chris Jericho came out for this match on fire, for what is set to be his last ever match after quitting the WWF on Smackdown. Regal has to quickly leave the ring, after the intensity of Jericho was just too much for the commissioner. Regal grabs a chair, and heads back into the ring armed, but it backfired, as Jericho just dropkicked the chair right back into the face of the commissioner, which sent Regal back to the outside. However this time, instead of giving Regal the chance to come back on his own, Jericho joined Regal outside the ring, with a springboard, from the corner, into a cross body on Regal. On the outside, Jericho grabbed the head of Regal, and smashed it against the announce table numerous times. Regal however wasn't a pushover and lifting up a leg, and connected with the low blow on Jericho, and then gave Jericho a taste of his own medicine. Regal then threw Jericho right into the steel steps, and again grabbed a steel chair, and smashed it against the head of Jericho. Regal then rolled Jericho into the ring, but instead of covering Y2J, instead applied the Regal Stretch. Jericho was in agony, and looked like he might almost tap out, however Jericho managed to slowly make it to the ropes, but it was evident that a lot of damage had been made. Regal then exposed one of the top turnbuckles, and went to smash Jericho head first into the turnbuckle ring. Jericho however managed to put the brakes on, and reversed it on the commissioner. Regal's head on a small cut with a small amount of blood pouring out. When Regal seen the blood, he was completely enraged, and took Jericho down with a massive forearm, that almost beheaded Y2J. Regal then just stomped the head of Jericho repeatedly, once Regal was satisfied with what he had done, he went outside the ring, and grabbed the steel chair again. As Jericho got to his feet, he was smashed right in the head with the steel chair, Regal then continued to assault Jericho with the steel chair, legs, back of the head, back, arms. Y2J wasn't moving and JR said Chris Jericho was quite obviously knocked out.

 

The referee tried to get Regal to show some compassion, and let him check Jericho, Regal however didn't agree, and hit the neckbreaker on the referee. With both the referee down and Jericho down, Regal locked in the Regal Stretch on Jericho, and there we can see Jericho is bleeding like a stuffed pig. While Regal had the hold on Jericho, to start with it was clear that Jericho was still out, but after a good couple of minutes, the pain seemed to revive Jericho, who was screaming in agony, in the ring, which led Regal to have a sick smirk over his face. After a while Regal released the hold, and went over to the announce table, and 'borrowed' some of JR and Tazz's water, to have a small drink, as well as clean up the small cut on his forehead. Regal then got a headset on, and briefly spoke to JR and Tazz, saying he knew he was making Mr McMahon proud backstage. However the ****iness got the better of Regal, as Jericho was slowly recovering from the assault in the ring. As Regal finished talking to JR and Tazz, he turned back round, and barely even had time to take in that Jericho was coming towards him, as Jericho launched himself through the second and third rope, catching Regal with a plancha, over the top of the announce table, causing Tazz and JR to move very quickly. Jericho then starting punching away at the commissioner behind the announce table. Jericho got to his feet, but only to grab the ring bell, and as Regal got to his feet, Jericho smashed Regal across the face with it. Jericho then placed Regal on the announce table, and climbed onto the apron, and connected with an asai moonsault, which sent Regal through the announce table, and both men down on the long time. In the ring, Teddy Long was slowly starting to get to his feet, and confused for a moment on where the two men was, until he looked outside. Long quickly went to the outside to check on both men, and seen that neither man was moving, and called EMTs to ringside. Even though Jericho was the man to deliver the man, as he had received much more punishment in the match, Regal was the first one to his feet. As the EMTs was checking on Jericho, Regal aggressively moved them out of the way, and locked Jericho back in the Regal Stretch on the outside. But luckily for Jericho this time, he was able to grab a piece of the broken announce table and smash it other the head of Regal, to break the hold. Jericho managed to get his way up to his feet, but was still bleeding heavily. Jericho threw Regal into the ring, and then climbed to the top rope, and went for a missile dropkick, but Regal caught the leg of Jericho, and AGAIN went for the Regal Stretch, but this time Jericho managed to roll up Regal, 1..2.. Regal kicked out. Regal got up and took down Jericho straight away with a clothesline. Regal then put on a suplex clinic on show in the middle of the ring, with Jericho seemingly out of energy to stop Regal. Perhaps a sign of desperation, but Jericho raised an arm, and caught Regal with a low blow. With Regal down, Jericho grabbed the steel chair that was in the ring, and completely wore the steel chair out on Regal, and due to what Regal did earlier, the referee was obviously reluctant to stop Jericho. Jericho only ended up stopping the attack when the chair was literally falling apart. Jericho then locked in the Walls of Jericho in on Regal, but Regal was unable to tap out, as the referee checked Regal, Regal had passed out from the pain.

Winner: Chris Jericho

 

Even though the match was over, Jericho didn't realise the hold, he wanted Regal to go through what he did earlier, with the pain reviving him, which within a couple of minutes happened, and Regal was tapping out like a drunk man. With a smile over the bloody face of Jericho, finally satisfied Regal had given up, Jericho kicked the commissioner out of the ring, and went to grab a microphone.

 

Jericho said he was sorry for leaving, but he had to, it just wasn't fun anymore, when you had *******s like Regal, and the McMahon family screwing over peoples life's, wrestling had become a chore, the wrestling business was dead, this is now the McMahon's personal playground, but now, it was no longer worth it.

 

Jericho then dropped the microphone, and left the ring, for the last time.

 

We then go backstage, and the WWF Champion Stone Cold, is with Michael Cole.

 

Stone Cold says how Linda McMahon, tried to destroy her husband's greatest creation, better than Hulkamania, better than Wrestlemania, better than his jackass son. Linda McMahon tried to destroy the relationship between Triple H and Stone Cold, however it wasn't going to happen, they are on the same page, and the WWF title isn't going anywhere.

 

We then go to ringside, ready for the main event, which JR reminds us, is No DQ, One Fall to a finish, and there must be a winner.

WWF Title

WWF Champion Stone Cold v Kurt Angle v Kane v Chris Benoit v The Undertaker v WWF Intercontinental Champion Triple H

 

As Triple H announced earlier, it was Kurt Angle and Triple H that started off the match, in a rematch of sorts from Smackdown. Triple H took it to the Olympic gold medallist in the early part of the match, Angle tried to get in some offence, but the Intercontinental Champion was fired up. After knocking down Angle numerous times, Triple H bounced of the ropes, Angle dropped his head, but Triple H countered it into the face buster, which sent Kurt staggering, and ended up having Kane tagging himself into the match. Triple H was then staring at his opponent in 8 days at Judgment Day, and then decided that confrontation could wait, as Triple H made the tag to Benoit. Benoit came in aggressively against Kane, with numerous chops, and a snap suplex. Kane however quickly got back to his feet, and took down Benoit with a chop of his own. Benoit then made the tag to the Undertaker, and we are getting our first look at Brother versus Brother. Kane and Undertaker start exchanging lefts and rights, and Kane gets the upper hand in the situation, and has the Undertaker reeling. Kane then grabs Undertaker around the throat, and connects with the chokeslam. Austin then flying tags himself into the match, and then goes to make the cover over Undertaker, with Kane standing looking bemused, easily made the save. Kane picked up Austin and just quickly chokeslammed the champion before the referee managed to get Kane out of the ring. With both Austin and Undertaker down after receiving chokeslams from Kane, they both battled to a corner, and both Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit got the tags. Angle and Benoit quickly came into the ring, and Benoit quickly hooked up Angle for a belly to belly overhead suplex. Benoit then tried to quickly lock in the crippler crossface on Angle, but Angle quickly got to the ropes. As Angle got to his feet, Triple H tagged his way into the ring, and went face to face with the rabid wolverine. The two men started exchanging lefts and rights, Triple H managed to get the advantage of the situation, and sent Benoit against the ropes, and connected with the high knee to the face. Triple H then picked up Benoit and went for the pedigree, but Benoit grabbed the arm of Triple H, and went for the crossface, Triple H however managed to roll through the move, and then connect with a huge clothesline taking down Benoit. Angle then tagged himself back into the match, to the anger of the Game. Angle then went to the top rope, and delivered a huge moonsault onto Benoit. Angle made the cover, but it was broken up by the Deadman. As Undertaker turned around to head back to his corner, Angle delivered the Olympic Slam to the Undertaker, which had Austin grow a little smile on his face.

 

Kurt Angle turned around, and was face to face with the monster Kane, who made the tag while Angle wasn't looking. Kane connected with an upper cut on Angle, which sent the Olympic Champion down to the ring. Kane then picked up Angle in the military press position, and while looking at Triple H, sent Angle down to the mat below, clearly sending a message for their Intercontinental Title match next Sunday. Kane then made the cover on Angle, but Angle managed to get the shoulder up at the two count. Undertaker was then back on the apron, and called for the tag from his brother, which Kane obliged. Undertaker came into the ring, and connected with numerous punches, which had Angle back into the corner, however that still wasn't an escape from the numerous punches to the chest. Undertaker then connected with old school on Angle, and then hooked up Angle for the chokeslam. Angle however went low for the reversal, and grabbed the ankle of the Undertaker, and locked in the anklelock, which sent an even bigger smile to the face of Austin. Undertaker was trapped in the anklelock in the middle of the ring, and Angle kept bringing Undertaker to the centre of the ring, and it looked like the deadman might tag out. That was until Benoit came into the ring, behind Angle, and saved the match, by delivering a German Suplex to Angle. With Undertaker and Angle both down in the ring, both men tried to make a tag. Austin was calling for Kurt to go to his corner, which Kurt did, and Austin came into the ring, but just at the same time Undertaker tagged in Benoit. Benoit came into the match quickly with a couple of clothesline onto the champion, Benoit then threw Austin against the ropes, and with the champion rebounding, hit the belly to belly release, sending Austin half way across the ring. Benoit then climbed up to the top rope, and hit the diving head butt onto the chest of the champion. However before Benoit could make the cover, Triple H came into the ring, and hit a pedigree on Benoit. Austin then slowly covered Benoit, but Kane came in to break up the pinfall before the three count. Austin got to his feet, and nailed Kane as he was leaving the ring. Kane however grabbed Austin around the throat. Kane seen Benoit was getting to his feet, and tossed the champion to the wolverine, who then locked in the crossface, and Austin was in visible pain. Triple H came into the ring, with a knee to the face of Benoit to make the save. Triple H then dragged Austin to his corner, and then tagged himself into the match. Triple H connected with an elbow onto the head of Benoit, and then picked up Benoit for a DDT. Angle then tagged himself into the match of the back of Triple H, which angered the game. Angle waited for Benoit to struggle up to his feet, and then hit the Olympic Slam on Benoit. Angle then made the cover, but somehow Benoit managed to kick out at a two count. Angle was furious, and pulled down his straps, and locked in the anklelock. While Benoit in pain in the middle of the ring, it looked like we was going to get a new WWF Champion, until the Undertaker came into the ring, and delivered a boot to the face of Angle.

 

Angle went backwards, and Kane tagged himself into the match, and Chris Benoit could obviously not take much more punishment in this match, already taken so many finishers, however he was about to take another, as Kane set up Benoit for the chokeslam. In the corner of the eye of the Big Red Machine he noticed Triple H on the top rope. Kane turned around and seen Triple H try and preform a double axe handle, but Kane caught The Game around the throat, and then chokeslammed both Triple H and Benoit at the same time. As the referee went to roll Triple H out of the ring, Kane had the cover on Benoit, but the referee didn't see it. Kane got back up, and with the referee still distracted Austin came into the ring and delivered the stunner to Kane. Kane ended up rolling to the nearest corner, that turned out to be the corner of Austin, when the referee turned around, Austin covered Benoit, and the referee made the count, but Benoit kicked out, Austin started to get ****y against the wolverine, who had been in the ring for a while, and it cost him when Benoit hit a German Suplex on Austin, and Benoit made the tag to Undertaker. Undertake came into the ring, without Austin even knowing, and Austin turned around into a huge right hand from the Undertaker. Undertaker picked up Austin and threw him against the ropes, and followed up with the big boot, and the cover, but only a two count. Undertaker picked up Austin, and went for snake eyes in the corner, and then grabbed Austin around the throat and hit the chokeslam. But that wasn't enough for Undertaker, who made the signal, and the picked up Austin for the last ride. Undertaker went for the cover, but Benoit broke up the three count with the diving head butt. Angle quickly got into the ring, and took Benoit and himself out of the ring with a clothesline over the top rope, sending them both to the outside, the two men continued to brawl on the outside, with Angle hitting the Olympic Slam on the ramp way, keeping both men down. In the ring, Kane tagged his way in the ring at the expense of his brother, and as Undertaker was staring down his younger brother, who received a knee to the back, which sent Undertaker out of the ring, Triple H quickly flowed Undertaker outside, and hit the pedigree on the deadman outside the ring. In the ring, Austin was starting to get to his feet, and Kane was getting ready to give Austin the tombstone, after giving the signal, however the referee was focused on Triple H and Undertaker outside the ring, which allowed Austin to give Kane a kick between the legs, and the stunner, but it didn't send Kane down, and just stunned the monster. Triple H seeing this quickly came into the ring, and after the stunner, Kane then fell victim to the pedigree. Austin then made the cover, with Triple H keeping guard making sure no one broke up the pinfall, and Austin retained the WWF Title, against all the odds.

Winner: Still WWF Champion, Stone Cold Steve Austin

 

JR and Tazz was shocked that Triple H and Austin kept their agreement, and Triple H gave up his chance to be WWF Champion. Triple H helped up Austin and the two men celebrated in the ring with the Intercontinental Title, WWF Title and Tag Team Titles. They didn't notice however Kane getting to his feet, and Undertaker getting back into the ring. The two teams then started fighting in the ring, and the Brothers of Destruction got the upper hand, and Kane delivered the tombstone of Triple H, and Undertaker hit the last ride on Austin. Kane and Undertaker then celebrated with the WWF Title and Intercontinental Title, ending Insurrextion, and to send the fans home happy.
